Pulp-Fu

This 38-page .pdf takes cinematic gaming back to the time of bootleggers and tommyguns with a revised and expanded version of the Wushu core rules, advice for incorporating pulp and noir elements into your game, eleven anti-hero character templates, and many pages of illustrative examples of play. With Pulp-Fu, you can run anything from a team of hard-boiled investigators tracking the Insidious Dr. Fang across the Far East, to a league of super-powered mystics who protect the world from arcane threats and mad scientists bent on global conquest!

Wushu is a great system and Pulp-Fu adds just enough information on style to make pulp action easy. There are a few added rules in Pulp-Fu, like an insanity attribute, which brings Wushu into the realm of Eldritch horror, or vice versa. The usual characte [...]

Wushu: A game you get or don't get... A game you'll love or hate! The entire range of Wushu books and suppliments comes with my highest recommendation. Though none of the suppliments are in any way essential, they all add a little to the game's conce [...]

As always with WUSHU products, the pdf is a great read and extremely enjoyale. Lots of text that creates the right athmosphere for the game. LIKED: lots of highly enjoyable examples. DISLIKED: The formatting is pretty bland. [...]

I utterly hate paying for PDFs. I'd much rather have a nice, bound, preferably hardcover, book. Electronic format just isn't the same. Sure, you can print 'em out, put 'em in a binder. But it's not like a real book. Then I read Wushu Open, Dan's free [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
